Our Holland Express!

Christmas all over again. After six weeks of waiting(we knew it was coming) our package arrived from the Netherlands. Our friends there were so thoughtful with our gifts. One for Stuart and one for Myself. Sorry, Yvonne but the tree was already down before we could get them under it! What a lovely message she wrote us. Now let's open them, should we?

Inside my gift was a beautiful calendar of the Netherlands. Beautiful pictures of the pretty things surrounding their area. Perfect for my sewing room. And Stuart's gift was a apron, because they know he likes to cook and entertain. Motifs of everything about Holland were represented on it. Thank you Yvonne and Alex for thinking of us this Christmas season. I hope we have many more to share. See you in 7!

About Me

My hands are always busy, this has led to many crafty endevers, interior design, paper crafting, or sewing, but my favorite obsession is quilting and making bags. You can just call me an "Old Bag"! My husband, Stuart and I are empty nesters who like to travel in our 5th wheel trailer and spoil our three kids, two son-in-laws, one daughter-in-law and five darling grandkids. (if there's any money leftover from buying fabric!)
I work at Corn Wagon Quilts in Springville, Utah. The perfect job for me. I teach quilt and bag classes for the Corn Wagon and Dave's Bernina in Provo and St. George, Utah. It's a good thing we don't have to live off what money I make, 'cause you know it has to buy fabric! Glad you stopped by, pull up a chair, a diet coke, chocolate and lets get accquainted.

"The desire tocreate is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds, or abilities, we each have an inherent wish tocreate something that did not exist before .... creation brings deep satisfaction and fulfillment. We develop ourselves and others when we take unorganized matter into our hands and mold it into something of beauty ..."

This is my husband Stuart. This is who I share my nest with. He likes the outdoors, hunting, guns, and ME! He is a wonderful cook (am I lucky or what?) He is a fun, kind and loving father and grandpa. I'm so blessed to have in my life.
